Andrea Dossena has had a hard 1st season at Liverpool after an number of poor displays at the start of the season. He has since been kept out of the 1st team by Brazilian Fabio Aurellio and youngster Emiliano Insua.
This has not stopped the Italian playing and scoring against the likes of Man Utd and Real Madrid. Today he has spoken about how hard it has been to adapt to life in the English Premier League.
“When I arrived I didn’t understand the language or the football here. I found a lot of differences between English and Italian football,”
“Here there is a higher intensity on the pitch and you have less time to think.
“In Italy you have more space, you have more time and the football is not as physical as it is here.
“But I have worked each day to adapt to the differences and now it is better for me. I’ve made progress with my English as well and it’s much better than it was at the start of the season.
“I can understand what the boss wants from me and I know my team-mates much better.”
